Braelyn and Berkley come to visit!

We were lucky enough to have Heather and the girls come to visit for three weeks. They arrived on Sunday and we picked Greg up on Tuesday. At the airport they saw us and called out our names and came running with big hugs. It's so nice to have little one's to hug and squeeze again.


There isn't much to do in the wintertime with little ones so we took them to Cabela's. They really loved feeding the fish and seeing the stuffed animals. Berkley loves Lion King so the African animals were a hit with her. Braelyn loves to try on everything and this hat looked great.
One night we decided to build a fire out on the deck and roast hot-dogs for dinner. After we cooked the hot-dogs and were eating them Braelyn turned to me and said "I have a good idea lets count this food as our dinner". That was the original plan but it was cute that she thought she had came up with the idea.
Berkley is stubborn and we could not convince her to put a coat on. She also just wanted a cold hot dog and after each bite she would have us put more ketchup on it and then she would take another bite. Maybe she has enough layers on her that she really doesn't get cold.
She also has this low voice and calls Steve Papa-pop and I'm just Mung, Taylor is tay-tay. After about a week she warmed up to Greg and whenever she would see him would say Hi Greg. She is a cuddler and there is nothing better then to have her snuggle down into your lap.
It was a great having them here and hard to send them back to Georgia. It was a busy three weeks with Greg coming home and getting Taylor ready for his mission. Time went by too fast. I can't wait until this summer when they come out and we can just relax and enjoy them. Nothing is better then being a Grandma. (In my case a Munga)
